role in plant growth

The procambium is a meristematic tissue concerned with providing the primary tissues of the vascular system; the cambium proper is the continuous cylinder of meristematic cells responsible for producing the new vascular tissues in mature stems and roots. The cork cambium, or phellogen, produces the protective…

…pith and cortex); and the procambium differentiates into the vascular tissues (the xylem, phloem, and vascular cambium). The xylem and phloem are conducting and supporting vascular tissues, and the vascular cambium is a lateral meristem that gives rise to the secondary vascular tissues, which constitute the secondary plant body.

…and phloem cells, originates from procambium that has not completely differentiated during the formation of primary xylem and primary phloem. The cambium is thought to be a single row of cells arranged as a cylinder that produces new cells: externally the secondary phloem and internally the secondary xylem. Because it…

…as well as in the procambium; the procambium is the primary meristematic tissue between the primary phloem and xylem. The first cork cambium is a lateral meristem that arises in the pericycle; the successive cork cambia arise in the secondary phloem. Because lateral roots are initiated in the pericycle and…
